Denude Lake is a lake in Lane County, Oregon.
Use the shape you can see at Denude Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Fish listed for Denude Lake include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During a short evening pass near a creek-side turn near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During an overcast morning near the downwind side while the water is falling, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
During a check of nearby water near a creek-side turn with light wind, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.
During a return to the best bank near the first break in clear water, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
During the final pass near a firm-bottom flat while the water is falling, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
